Emory Wind Ensemble—TIMELESS
2025–2026 Emory Department of Music
Free Event/No Tickets Required
Join the Emory Wind Ensemble for a concert of famous melodies from ancient Ireland to contemporary Brazil.
Colm O’Hara—the newly appointed conductor of Emory Wind Ensemble—shares that “the theme of the concert is famous, timeless melodies—Holst's Jupiter, Copland’s Variations on a Shaker Melody, a beautiful Siciliano on solo trumpet by Malcolm Arnold, some haunting Ravel, and an exciting, almost-completely eighth-note melody written by Brazilian genius Hermeto Pascoal. We also have a suite of three Irish folk melodies, accompanied by a reading of the poems by Seamus Heaney. It should be a very enjoyable concert for all."

Guest Lecture: Art Music in Ukraine during Wartime as a Tool of Resistance
FREE and open to the public, Abstract: Since 2014, when the Russian war against Ukraine began, and especially after the full-scale invasion started, numerous cultural actions have emerged as acts of Ukrainian cultural resistance. At the heart of resistance is a refusal to accept oppression. During the war in Ukraine, composers have been resisting both the wartime circumstances and the political narratives propagated by Russia. Generally, artistic creativity stands against the violence and death inherent in war, generating new meanings that reflect and capture the emotions, desires, and hopes of Ukrainians. This presentation examines theories of resistance to provide a framework for analyzing compositions dedicated to the theme of war and explores the mode of resistance in Ukrainian art music. Specifically, Iryna Tukova focuses on the composition Vox Humana (2023) by Roman Grygoriv, written for an MRLS BM-27 Uragan missile and chamber orchestra. Uniquely, this work uses a missile fragment as a musical…
